This poll was done by Forum Research for the Canadian Municipal Election Study. This is so strange.

What an... unusual... methodology:

• Telephone selection followed by online poll?
• Over a 14-day period?
• Where the lead researcher for the poll comments on his own poll, saying "he thinks the methodology is sound"? (Excellent investigative journalism, Calgary Herald, bravo!)
• Where the full list of questions isn't released?

I'm emphatically not going to claim that the results are wrong or rigged, but that's a large number of things making me go "hmm....".
